Numerous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of interstitial water metal concentrations and simultaneously extracted metals/acid-volatile sulfide (SEM/AVS) ratios in explaining the acute toxicity of sediment-associated metals to benthic organisms. However, no full life-cycle chronic marine or est
High levels of ammonia in sediment toxicity tests can potentially confound test results. At issue is whether the observed toxicity is due to elevated ammonia or the presence of more persistent anthropogenic contaminants. To evaluate the risk of ammonia toxicity, information on (1) the exposure-respo
## Abstract Based on the need for a test to evaluate chronic sublethal toxicity in estuarine sediments, a 28โd sediment bioassay with the estuarine amphipod __Leptocheirus plumulosus__ (Shoemaker) was developed. The test was initiated with animals less than 2 weeks old (i.e., 425โ600 ฮผm sieved size
## Abstract Benthic invertebrates may be exposed to metals in pore water, overlying water, ingested sediments, and other food particles. Rates and routes of metal exposure have important implications for predicting toxicity and interpreting toxicity test results. For the standard test amphipod __Le
